A bug: The enemies spawn in the corner.
Battle graphics are fine.
The maptiles aren't very good.
This is a review of Rouge's Revenge.
This is a short review of the OHRRPGCE-game Rouge's Revenge by arpgme. It's his first game and this is my first review.
In this game, you play as Rouge, a character from the Sonic the Hedgehog games. I never played any Sonic games, but as far as I read wikipedia, Rouge's Revenge bases on the Sonic games. For example diamonds, rings and the evil bosses, Robotnik and Dr.Eggman, are also included here.
What I first like about this game is that the story is described very shortly and with a few sentences and pictures.
The graphics are good average, I think. I liked the battle sprite of Rouge and the enemies. But the walkabout sprite and the maptiles are not so good. Especially the map when you come outside the building looks very bad. I don't even know, what the should show above the grass path. There seems to be a bug with the walkabout sprite of Rouge when walking up and down.
The music is fine. The only one I want to critizise is the music in later battles, which is too short so that it repeats very often.
The battle system is interesting. I never played a RPG before without the time loading bar. But this system without it is also good. I don't like that the enemies "dash in", because then the battles take a lot of time if 5 enemies are on the battlefield. I also think, that the battles are too monotone, because the only option to use is "Hit". The first spell Rouge learns, "Black Wind" is too weak to be useful. I found a bug at the first fight with the "CrabMeat": When I defeat it, the two "Grounders" spawn in the left corner.
The last thing I want to admit is that the option to save the game is missing here. Unfortuneatly I wasn't able to play this game to the end, because the enemies always defeated me and I didn't have the time to level up a bit. Dear author, please update that, because it makes the game much more playable.
